1. Start with cold, clean water. Water is the base of tea so the better-quality water, the better the tea will taste.
2. Heat water to a simmer – not a boil which flattens the taste of the tea.
3. Only steep for 3-5 minutes, anything longer will make the tea taste bitter.
4. Don’t overcrowd your cup – 1 teabag or teaspoon per cup of tea.
